context: drop support for looking up context by ambiguous changeid (API) This removes support for using the changectx constructor (and thereby repo[x]) for looking up contexts by a stringified int, a namespace key (e.g. a bookmark), or a partial hex nodeid. This means that e.g. repo[<hex nodeid>] will now fail even if a bookmark with the same name exists (which is a good thing IMO). It also means that doing repo[<non-existent node>] no longer ends up loading namespaces (which was a surprising side-effect of creating of failing to create a context object that I recently ran into while debugging something unrelated to this series).

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
